why did it fail in austria, when it did not in italy?hey failed in this election, but nearly half of the voters voted for him. is not a federal president, he might be once -- one of the federal chancellor's, the far right, but not the right extremist party, but a right-wing populist party. he could be the next head of government. they did not fail so much. maybe it was an advantage for ofm not to have the position the president, but the more important position of the federal chancellor in the future. ok, so the far right has lost the skirmish, but the battle continues, so to speak. an, do you see the far right being strengthened going out of this election result in austria? alan: no, not strengthened by the result. they lost the election, but i agree with what ewald just said. they are coming back. you heard from all the clips, there are two elements. one is democracy. the people feel disenfranchised, and they say the way we get back our vote is by taking control of our country. they have a point, because historically, the nationstate an

we are all austria. and we have to work together. >> does this put an end to the populist, nationalist surge we've seen in europe? >> i can't say -- always have to say the same thing. i'm not a populist. i don't want to be a populist. i'm a pretty normal guy. level-minded man. and, yeah, i just want you to believe me. i'm really a -- i'm right but i'm an extreme right, middle right. it's so important to me to show that i'm not an extreme man. >> the austrian presidency is a ceremonial but highly symbolic roll. hofer's loss has delved the populist surge a blow. now the professorial van der bellen, a child of refugees is being hailed as a defender of open liberal europe. but austria is just the first of a string of election challenges in the year ahead. i think the key here was van der bellen said earlier in that piece is that a lot has changed in the last six months. brexit, trump, and what voters are really voting for was stability. this is the number one thing in exit polls. they expected van der bellen

>> the story isn't completely new in austria. while we're living through a wave of pop list advances around the world, he's been a major player for many decades, it was founded in 1956. you have to take that back story into account. we're possibly on the cusp of seeing europe's first democratically elected far right head of state. just the symbolic importance of that i think would be enormous. it also has a practical importance. although the presidency -- it carries certain powers. it could dissolve particle: the president has the right to attend european summits. mr. hofer has suggested he would start using the powers that previous presidents have not exercised. he could be a relatively significant figure in european politics. >> what about the fact that austria is one of europe's most wealthy economies, what impact could that have if mr. hofer prevails? >> it all really depends what happens next? the president can't sudden i start making policies. he doesn't have much direct executive power. you have to see this in the biggest

we start with austria first.oters are electing the new president on sunday in a rerun of a vote originally held last may. last may, the dependent candidate -- independent candidate for him, but it was overturned in court. and now the two candidates emphasize their pro-and anti-e.u. stances. the race is too close to call. the presidency in austria is largely ceremonial, but the popularity shows how many austrians in beit -- embrace anti-immigrant rhetoric because of effective campaigning. reporter: hofstadter is an old-school politician. right now he is feeling very optimistic.% >> we are getting a lot of support from the people. everyone is saying, i hope he wins. that is what we hope. there is no one better. >> he is talking about that candidate of the far right freedom party who has his sights on the austrian presidency. it would be a major step forward for the party, and is paul stadler who has blazed the trail. he was the first freedom party candidate to be elected as a counselor in vienna, to a district once

certainly in austria, for the mainstream parties, they are saying it is a great day for austria, a slap in the face for extremism. we have seen european leaders echo this. given the current international trend of populism we have seen in recent months, the freedom party, the far right, hopes to capitalize on what they were calling me trump effect. the vote turns against them, but it is important to say that they got 46% of the vote. a clear sign that austrian society is still divided and there is quite a lot of support for his ideas, and his party is still at the top of opinion polls. where they lost out in the presidential election, they have their eyes on the general elections, which will be in 2018. before this presidential election, it would have been unheard of that a member of the freedom party would beat out candidates in the early rounds from the social democrats and the conservatives to be one of the last two candidates in this election. but norbert hofer achieved this and has permeated the mainstream with his party. the members of the freedom party are now household names, hav

>> so, in austria, the president traditionally plays a largely ceremonial role. the pretty powers, however, are quite broadly defined, and it's possible to interpret those in a larger way. and that's what norbert hofer has said he intends to do. he has said that he would dismiss a government that behaved in a certain way. he's given a couple of examples, at least one is if the government were to raise taxes. another is if a government allowed another influx of migrants like the one we saw here just over a year ago where, at the time, there were no i.d. checks for example of people coming through and he said if something like that were to happen again, he would restrict the government. >> stewart: francois murphy, thank you. >> thank you. >> finally, iran sharply criticized the united states today for extending unilateral economic sanctions for 10 more years. president obama is expected to sient bill approved by congress this week. iran's foreign minister says the extension violates the nuclear disarmament deal implemented this year by the u.s. and other world pow

in austria, they're doing very well economically.retty low unemployment by european standards. the economy is healthy and yet there is this glowing distrust of the establishment and a lot of that has to do with the refugee issue with austria taking in a lot of refugees last year, similar to germany. in fact, austria took more per capita than germany. in other countries like italy and france, it might be more of an economic issue that's driving the populism. >> right. but it's so frustrating that it's occurring not just in europe but in the united states as well and it seems to be all happening at the same time. matthew, thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. >>> president-elect trump apparently still has snl in his claw. >> trump blasting the show after the cast ripped on him again. >> mr. trump, please stop retweeting all these random real people. you're not getting any work done. >> that's not true. i was elected 25 days ago and already unemployment is at a nine year low. millions and millions of p

and austria.ke -- calmly this morning in many ways but we still do not know what will or in termsin rome of the recapitalization of the banks. is that what we are looking at -- we just do not know? think that it was priced in, maybe not to the extent we have seen. there is a general assumption that we will put together a caretaker government fairly quickly. it will not be as easy as some people think. at the end of the day, you have a winning camp that is not able to propose an alternative and you have the losing camp which may still control the parliament as a majority. but there is turmoil. renzi will likely leave as a party leader. you have the centrist party in the middle without a clear reference point. the efforts to put together a caretaker government and finding a parliamentary majority may take longer than we think. view, and, in our leaving aside the banks, the key issue for italy is medium long-term. meaning that we may end up after changing the electoral system in a more proportional d

is the austria-germany year yield spread.going higher through november. our investors too complacent? too complacent? the national front versus independent. are markets to relaxed about this? >> france and austria and others -- in these countries, you do have populist risks. in austria, the extremist candidate has come by a whisker to win. the election is being redone. the problem is not just for austria where the spread could widen but this could it -- this could influence germany and scare policymakers from doing more proactive action before the german election. anna: thank you very much alberto. trump shine donald fades. more on the market is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> i am here today for one main reason. to say thank you to ohio. we did not have much help at the top levels. you know that, right. it turned out that it did not matter. but we had help with the people and that is what really did matter. anna: donald trump kicks off his cincinnati,ur in ohio yesterday exulting his surprise victory and mocking critics. as he

and in austria, voters there could elect the man you see here.uld be the first far right head of state in western europe since the end of world war ii. let's talk more about the political ramifications of the votes. nic robertson now joining us live. so we have seen these shifts, we saw a shift that happened in the united kingdom with brexit. there was a shift that happened in the united states with the vote for president-elect donald trump. and now we're seeing things happen in europe that could indicate a similar shift. >> and i think if you look at matteo renzi's campaign in italy to try to get the country to accept political reforms that are only linked to italy, that are not linked to its position in europe, that are trying to sort of improve the economy of italy, this perhaps gives us a very big clue for why this is happening this particular time. since the economic crash of 2008, a lot of people have felt that the economy has been hurting, there has been stagnation in italy, really economically for about 30 years now. these political refor

why didn't that happen in austr austria?> reporter: what is interesting is both candidates are not mainstream candidates. one of them, norbert hofer, was very railing against immigration. this was his main campaign point. alexander van der bellen was basically campaigning for open europe to stay the course. then it was a decisive victory. van der bellen gained 53% of the vote. hofer only gained 46% of the vote. the deciding factor is women voters. 62% of women actually voted for van der bellen. it was on the fears of change. britain exiting the eu was a factor. nobody wants to see austria leave the eu and the trump election also played into this. many people worried about populous coming into power as well. the trump bump did not help the populous party here. >> atika shubert, thank you. >>> a crushing setback for the establishment in italy. prime minister matteo renzi confirming he will resign today after suffering a resounding defeat in the referendum sunday. renzi's plan to reform the constitution and revive the economy r

charlie: why was austria different?in some ways, austria was not different. 47% voted for an extreme right-wing leader, so it was a close election. interestingly enough, the person that one did run on a pro-eu ticket and post a stark choice. i think when you compose a stark choice, you'll see a great division. sometimes you will find the non-populist win as they did in austria and others, you will find the populist win as they did in great britain. the next big test is france where we have two candidates, one of whom is almost certainly going to be marine le pen who is the populist candidate running against the presumably conservative candidate and it's going to be 50/50. who's going to get above that margin? the thing we are talking about as we are talking about nearly 50% in the country's saying we want something different, we want to find a new way of doing business, and we want to go against not only the establishment but the institutions that have been part of the european order and part of the national order for 3

here in austria the populist view was stalled. the far-right candidate failed in his attempt to become austria's president. so there was a huge sigh of relief in brussels among some of the european establishment and officials. but within a few hours, that was swept away by matteo renzi's defeat. now in europe they are trying to play this down and say it was just italian government politics. it's not. this is part of the populist wave sweeping across the west. we have seen trump, we have seen brexit and now mr. renzi is the latest domino to fall. frances? >> we'll continue to see backlash from it. bill neely, thank you so much. >>> and just hours ago, the nobel organization says bob dylan has provided a speech to be read in stockholm, sweden. but it is not clear who will be reading the speech submitted by dylan. the music legend is still not expected to attend the event in person to receive his award. dylan claimed pre-existing commitments prevented him from attending. stay tuned on this one, i have a feeling it's not over yet. >>>

i would respond by saying we have already seeing the populist insurgency in austria. to earlier this year, we had the first round of the election for the first time in seven decades, both of the two establishment parties failed to get a candidate into the final round, so i would argue that they are fully already in the throes of a populist uprising. joe: for those who are not paying attention to this story, why is the presidential election being run a second time? john: literally, the second round of the election earlier this year, it was so close to call. it would into wednesday after the sunday vote. and it was really narrow. essentially went to the constitutional court and they decided there were so many irregularities in the process that they needed a rerun. joe: this is the presidential election, not the prime minister. what is the role of the president in austria and remind us to the candidate are and what would be the significance if the right wing candidate were to win ? john: historically speaking, the role of the president has been incumbent of the position,

i mean, if we ignore austria for a moment, apology to any austrians, if we ignore austria for a moment, this year has been frankly shocking and could well continue that way. tony: yes. and look, there's a lot i think we started trying to figure out because undoubtedly we are in whichpolitical situation, dangerous -- which is good in europe at least. and there's no doubt in my mind that something different is going on in politics. having said that i think it's very important to emphasize several things. the first is populism is not new. concern about immigration is not new. i remember at least, the 1960s when politicians warning about the wave of black immigration coming into the uk. this would produce rivers of blood. immigration is not a new topic. globalization is not new. and it has effects. if you look at the changes and -- in the 1980s, there will coal mining community and still communities that shut down. so what is new i think two things. first of all, i think post financial crisis and with all the change in the world, people are insecure and anxious. they see their community an

austria, for example, took in almost 100,000 immigrants last year adding 1% to its population in 2015 alone. this much change can be unsettling. for most of human history, people lived, worked and died within a few miles of the place they were born. but in recent decades, hundreds of millions of people from poorer countries have moved to wealthier ones. this reflects an economic reality. rich countries have declining birth rates and need labor. poor countries have million who's seek better lives. but it does produce anxiety, uneasy and a cultural backlash. we're witnessing it across the western world. what does it mean for the future? western societies will have to better manage immigration. they should also place much greater emphasis on assimilation. canada could be a role model. it has devised smart pols on both fronts and is a model where high levels of skilled immigration plus strong assimilation lead to no major backlash. eventually, western societies will be able to be adjust to this new feature of globalization. look at young people in europe and america, the vast majority of
